Our turn for the big Xmas eve dinner this year, and then down to the parents for Xmas day dinner. I'd say at least 80% of our presents are bought online now. I think the neighbors are doing much the same as there's been a steady stream of UPS trucks on our block the last week or so.

My dog always whines until the first stop. When it;s not the vet he calms down. Good luck.

Yea, I moved out here from Texas and had two cats as with me as well...you want to talk about whining...it was soooooo bad. One of the cats has this deep pitch when it really wails...hurts the ears sooo much..which is not the best when actually driving. I just hope the weather holds up.

I'm also in the states and celebrate Christmas and New Years. So far, I have about 90% of my Christmas shopping complete. I'll have to finish the rest this weekend which for me in pretty last minute, wish me luck!

I don`t think I`m ready for the holidays this year, I`m not even eager that they are coming. It seems that every year the Xmas feeling is fading away.
Oh well, it will come back after I stuff my face with some chocolate cookies.

I have 1 years old twins stay are just starting to walk and I'm really wondering if I should put a Christmas tree in the house. I don't really have a room where I can put it and still be monster proof. Any suggestions?
